    ADRODDIAD BLYNYDDOL / ANNUAL REPORT 1981-82 MAXWELL FRASER BEQUEST & TREFIN ARCHDDERWYDD CYMRU BEQUEST 1982001 Ffynhonnell / Source The late Maxwell Fraser (Mrs Edgar Phillips), Slough, Berkshire. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1981-82 Disgrifiad / Description A brief description of this bequest appeared in last year's Annual Report. It consists of the manuscripts and papers of Maxwell Fraser (1902-80), authoress and travel writer, and of her husband, Edgar Phillips (`Trefin', 1889-1962), to be known at the testator's request as the `Maxwell Fraser Bequest' and the `Trefin Archdderwydd Cymru Bequest'. The `Maxwell Fraser Bequest' is by far the larger group and contains correspondence ; diaries with detailed entries, 1933-80, and a journal of a tour of Poland in 1930; drafts and typescripts of books, articles, and broadcast scripts; notes and material relating to the testator's researches in connection with these works including a large group relating to Lord and Lady Llanover and the Hall family ; circulars, newsletters and correspondence relating to the many societies of which the testator was a member (the Cambrian Archaeological Association, the International Arthurian Society, Kilvert Society, Offa's Dyke Association, P.E.N., Sherlock Holmes Society of London and other societies which reflect her interest in literature, history and archaeology, music and Celtic matters). There is a substantial amount of correspondence (letters received and copies of replies), much of it connected with the preparation of the testator's many books, articles and guides, and with her work preparing publicity material for the Great Western Railway and British Railways (Western Region) (including Holiday Haunts, 1929-62).

  • Aberystwyth University Unit of Assessment: 9 Physics Title of Case
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: Aberystwyth University Unit of Assessment: 9 Physics Title of case study: Impact of physics and astronomy research on the work of the Urdd National Eisteddfod 1. Summary of the impact Recognising a national shortage of young people adopting careers in physics, particularly in Wales, we used our experience in engaging the public with physics research to have an impact on the work of the young people’s organisation Urdd Gobaith Cymru at its National Eisteddfod, one of the largest cultural youth festivals in Europe. At the heart of the pavilion, Aberystwyth researchers presented an exhibition of our research on the Sun and the Solar System, supported by the STFC Science in Society scheme. This core activity convinced the organisation to reintroduce a prominent science pavilion (the GwyddonLe), having originally planned not to host a science event. Since 2010, this has grown to be one of the largest and most popular events at the Eisteddfod, attracting external funding and allowing DMAP researchers to have a further impact on society by demonstrating physics to tens of thousands of school children and their parents. 2. Underpinning research The research of the Solar System Physics group of the Department of Mathematics and Physics focuses on understanding and predicting the physical processes that lead to the flow of solar material into interplanetary space, and studying the evolution of this material from the Sun to the planetary and lunar surfaces. The group has a long and successful history of analysing data from many space missions and ground-based facilities and developing novel methods and models to interpret the observations.
